This level of access yields success. Truth is, the ETL Mark is the fastest growing
certification mark in North America. We have over 50,000 listings, up more than
50% in just five years. Intertek is an OSHA-approved NRTL (Nationally Recognized
Testing Laboratory) which authorizes us to test products and enroll them into our
proprietary certification program (ETL). Our ETL Listed Mark is proof of product
compliance to North American Safety Standards. We test to UL, ANSI, CSA, ASTM
and NFPA standards. AHJ’s in all 50 states and Canada accept the ETL Listed Mark as
proof of product safety. You might say we have arrived ahead of schedule.
We’ll make sure you do as well.
Our average turnaround time
is 15 days. We get the job done
